The Wise know their limits     

It is obvious that we cannot control the weather or our past,

but can we control what we feel?

Our emotions, in the moment, are often sensitive to what happens to us, to things we cannot predict or control.

Our first thoughts, in the moment, are often an automatic reaction to what we perceive and feel.

We CANNOT control our immediate (automatic) Emotional responses

We CANNOT control our immediate (automatic) First Thoughts

We CAN 1) Pause

We CAN 2) CHOOSE (control) our SECOND Thoughts

We CAN 3) CHOOSE (control) our Actions
